Jury: Oregon car-bomb suspect guilty of terrorism --Bomb was a fake, supplied by undercover FBI agents posing as members of al-Qaida 31 Jan 2013 A federal jury found an Oregon man guilty of federal terrorism charges on Thursday, rejecting the defense team's argument that Mohamed Mohamud was entrapped or induced by a yearlong FBI sting that began to target him when he was a teenager. Mohamud was accused of leading a plot to detonate a bomb at Portland's 2010 Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. The device he thought was a bomb was a fake, supplied by undercover FBI agents posing as members of al-Qaida [al-CIAduh].
